Are zombies conscious? Do they understand language, and can they communicate? Why are they always hungry—even after chowing down on an unfortunate human who falls within their grasp?
Combining tongue-in-cheek analysis with modern neuroscientific principles, the authors identify characteristic zombie behaviors and then use neuroanatomy and brain-body relationships to explain them. Along the way, the book touches on several key psychology topics (attention, perception, emotion, memory, identity, sleep, and more) and also provides real-world examples of brain disorders that can result in zombie-like behavior.
